We have worked together in seeking to aid developing nations increase their economic growth and to foster the growth of democratic institutions that would ensure the stability of the region. Both Australia and the United States have recognized the importance in recent years of keeping the doors open to those men. women. and children forced to flee persecution in their homelands and longing to rebuild their lives in freedom. Australia has resettled over 100.000 refugees from Indochina and thousands more who have fled the repression and brutal regimes in Poland and Eastern Europe. About 15.000 Australians married American servicemen after World War II. and thus guaranteed that United States and Australian ties would grow even closer in the important years following World War II. Australian films. opera stars. and television programs have enjoyed wide audiences in the United States. though I must say that much as I enjoy the Quantas ads. we do intend to win the Americas Cup and bring it home to the New York Yacht Club in the not too distant future.
